Faster than light
MightyPenguin:
TIME SLOWS DOWN AS YOU SPEED UP. AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT, TIME STOPS. IF YOU GO BEYOND C, TIME REVERSES. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I MADE UP. THIS IS SOMETHING I READ.
Botsareus:
ok sorry , I did not know that one.
Now all I need to do is figure out what happens after time stops , no one knows that, They think things go backwards in time, but who knows? I know now , the gods get an overflow error of some sort ...time to edit that universe code again.
Well now the stuff about light behaving like waves as well as particals makes sense.
New time past compered to old time 1 second past = 1second * (1 - (speed^2/lightspeed^2))^0.5
:blink: :wacko: :(
Now how am I supposed to program my vedio games, I dont want to have maid up physics but it apperars I have no choise...
Numsgil:
Technically people aren't sure what happens if you managed to go faster than light. It'd undefined behavior. The mathematical model says you'll go backwards in time, but the mathematical model wasn't designed to extrapolate like that.
Time dilation is something like this:
1/(1 + (v/c)^2)
or something very similar
MightyPenguin:
Which is why it always seemed iffy to me.

Exactly
But the other one does exactly the same. they both get old and die before the other one does.
:blink: PY :blink:
